Anyone travelling has been warned to watch out for low level disruption.

However, the Met Office had previously said the warning would extend to South Wales and the Midlands until later in the day, and it has now been scaled back.

The chief forecaster's assessment for Monday said: "An area of low pressure is expected to rapidly deepen to the south-west of the UK later on Sunday and then run north-eastwards across England and Wales on Monday accompanied by some very strong winds, large coastal waves and heavy rain.

"There remains a fair amount of uncertainty over the track and timing of this system, and so where and when the peaks of strongest winds will occur.

"However, there is a continuing signal for a period of disruptive winds, perhaps now more focused towards south-eastern parts of England. This alert will be updated on Sunday in light of further information."

Showers will continue through Tuesday with hail and thunder also possible.
